.Mov File not playing Video

Hi
Bought a Camcorder which uses SD Cards to record on .
Tried the play back on a Laptop running XP played back no Problem.
When I try on the Acer One different story. Media Master wont open the File. VLC opens shows the first frame then
just plays the Audio. Tried messing with the settings but not really sure what I'm doing their. Anyone have any ideas ?
Thanks

Which version of VLC are you using (where did you get it - Acer updates, fedora repositories, through the macles guide or...)

Does mplayer or smplayer play it ?

 

Thanks for replying,
VLC 0.8.7 janus is what it says in about in the Help menu
Tried media player wont even see it let alone play it.
I'm not sure but i think the .Mov files I'm trying to play may be Quick Time files
if that's any help
regards
ian

 

Mplayer and media master are not the same program
Actually no, now I tell a lie. Media master is a graphic shell around a crippled and dysfunctional mplayer.

Quite likely, yes. Which is why I suggested mplayer - it is supposed to be able to play it.
See here for installation instructions:

Do note that you will have to perform the fedora-release and RPM Fusion steps first.

 

Could you tell me the format of the video and if it has DRM?
You can find the format of the video by using a tool called mediainfo.

did you try updating vlc player ?
